Good.

 

(j/k)

[Jasonbay44]

So I'm down 2 and have the saints kicker against Mike Wallace... lol

 

And won!! Lets go! Good s*** Mike Wallace

[Thunder]

Matt Ryan vs my beloved Jets or Rodgers vs the Lions?

[Jasonbay44]

Rodgers, the only time Rodgers should ever been on a bench is due to injury or a bye week.

Yeah. I benched him last week for the bye and Ryan got me 22. Rodgers had only gotten 8 in week 3 vs Cincy before that.

Any fantasy experts here? I'm on a critical week against the league's only 4-0 without my top running back.

 

My options are limited -- I need two of LeGarette Blount, Rashard Jennings, Ryan Matthews or Bilial Powell?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Whatever you do, don't play Matthews. Although we're playing the Raiders and Rivers is hot, he hasn't performed well at all this year.

Bengals are set up to stop the run. Don't use Blount.

McFadden is out, so you should probably start Jennings.

Powell has a hamstring issue, but Falcons defense is easy to run on.

In case anyone was curious.. the correct answer to my question was "None of the above." I went with Blount and Jennings, scoring a whopping 7 points between them, while my bench scored a strong 5 points between them. Somehow, I still won the game by a significant margin against the league's only 4-0. Go figure.

The Chiefs D just won me my matchup by themselves, holy f***ing s***, 40 POINTS?!?!?! My opponents team got 47 from Cobb, Brown, Doug Martin , Finley an Texans D COMBINED. Lmao

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

10 1/2 sacks will do that for you. The Chiefs look good this year.

[Jasonbay44]

It's amazing how much coaching can change a team. The Chiefs defense is pretty much the same, they just had a ton of underperforming players.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Antonio Brown playing against the Bills

 

Or

 

Desean Jackson playing against the Packers.

 

Brown has the better matchup, but GB won't have Rodgers. Although it doesn't matter to the defense, I can see the offense barely being on the field. That leaves more time for the Eagles to get on offense and Foles looked ood last week. Big Ben did too, but this move could go both ways.

[Jasonbay44]

Who else is on your team? I'd probably want to start them both lol.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Welker and Andre Johnson will not see my bench unless on a bye.

[Jasonbay44]

Are you in a PPR league? You must be dominating with those WR's. Brown is #1 in receptions, Johnson is 2nd and Welker/Jackson are tied 7th lol

 

Honestly, you really can't go wrong with either. Brown is probably more consistent, but Jackson has more potential to go off for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nope, no PPR in my league but that's be awesome. Right now I have Brown starting, but that could changed. I think Desean might go off.

[Thunder]

Put in a claim for Russell Wilson with Brady on bye to replace Rodgers. My other team sucks, so I've lost hope with them. My good team has had a lot of injuries this year. Steven Jackson, Reggie Wayne, Randall Cobb are all guys that I've had to drop. Tough luck.

[Jasonbay44]

Why do you have Rodgers and Brady and why is Russell Wilson a free agent, what the hell kind of league is that? lol... all 4 of those guys went in first 5 rounds of my 8 team league..

It's a 6 team league. The team I have that sucks is a 10 team league. Next year, I might settle on an 8 team league.

[rjortiz]

Kennum or Big Ben?

[Jasonbay44]

I missed out on Foles, so I have a similar dilemma, I'm rolling with Big Ben as I trust him more.

[rjortiz]

Locker against Jacksonville looks like a good matchup.

[Thunder]

Kennum or Big Ben?

 

I took Keenum in one of my leagues.

[Thunder]

Week 11: Russell Wilson vs Vikes or Tommy Terrific @ Carolina?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

2 things

 

1:Don't say Tommy Terrific ever again

2: If you actually considered benching Brady for Wilson, you should never be allowed to play fantasy football again

[Jasonbay44]

I don't blame him for starting Wilson. Before the Steelers game, Brady had been terrible in fantasy and my friend has actually been using Wilson over Brady since like week 4 or so.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Not terrible, just underperforming. Wilson plays weaker teams than Brady and after that monster performace from Brady you'd bench him? His weapons are only getting healthier and they're coming off a bye.

[Jasonbay44]

For where he was just drafted and how he's performed this season (In fantasy, not real life), he has been bad. Guys like Dalton, Roethlisberger, Foles and etc have outperformed him and he has similar point totals with Alex Smith and Tannehill. I'm just saying in fantasy, Wilson has actually been better this season. + Wilson is playing Vikings, who have one of worst pass defenses in NFL, while Panthers have one of best. Id still probably start Brady, just because I don't like benching my top draft picks ever. However, I fully understand the debate and why Thunder asked and wouldn't say its dumb at all to roll with Wilson over Brady
